ORNAMENTING WRITING-PAPER, ENVELOPS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,586, dated January 1.6, 1863, Application eminem 24, ieee. (Model.)

Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Ornamenting Writing-Paper, Envelopes, 81o.,

of which'the following is a specification.

Figure 1 represents a face view of a press Io such as that employed by us in ornamenting writing-paper, envelopes, Sw. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section ofthe upper plunger, showing it above the lower die. Fig. 3 is a bottom view ot' the said plunger, showing a t5 gummed envelope placed againstit. Fig.4is

a top view of the finished envelope. Fig. 5 is a top view ofthe lower die. Fig. 6 is a plan view, showing a silk blank which is to be applied to the paper. Fig. 7 is an enlarged verzo tical section ofthe finished `paper having the silk covering.

The object of this invention is to produce embossed paper envelopes, cards, or writingpaper with embossed silk ornaments thereon,

so that both the silk andthe writing-paper are embossed and the edge ofthe silk prevented from fraying; and the invention consists in the new product resulting from applying such silk covering or ornament to the paper and 3o embossingittogether with and directly around the same, and also in the machinery employed for embossing and uniting said parts in connection therewith. L

In carrying out this invention we proceed as follows: The design to be embossed-say the design of a bell-is engraved on a die, A,

and its counterpart on a plunger, B. The engraved face of the d-ie is intended to be represented in Fig. 5. This die and. this plunger 4o are both secured 1in a suitable press, as indicated in Fig. 1, and with the plunger is connected a guide or paper-carrier, C. The piece of silk D (see Fig. 6) is first cut to the desired form in a suitable cutting apparatus, and is Athen placed upon the die A, so that it matches the engraved figure thereon. Upon the face of the paper to be ornainented is, in a separate apparatus, applied mucilage or gum of the form of the bell or other ornament, and thereupon the paper E is placed, gummed side down, onto the carrier C, so that its gummed portion will he directly below the plunger B, and above the bell-shaped ornament of the .die A.' A

suitable gage is applied to the plunger B, so that the paper E when placed into it willhave its-bell shaped coating of mucilage exactly above the bell-shaped piece of silk D, that res'ts on the die A. The plunger B is now brought down, and with it the paper E, upon the silk D, that rests on the die A, and the pressure produced will suffice to cause the silk D to adhere to the freshly-gummed' lower surface of the paper, and also at the same time lto be embossed together with said paper, thereby producin g the embossed bell ot' silk on embossed paper and also an embossed border on the paper around the silk, which border protectsthe raw edge of the fabric and prevents fraying.

We have shown this invention applied to an ornamentation of a bell-like form,but it is evi dent that it may be used in connection with other ornaments of suitable outline.

We have said that the fabric D is made of silk, but do not desire to limit ourselves to silk. Satin or any other textilefabric may be used in lieu of silk.

lt willvhe seen that this invention is particularly adapted to writing-paper and envelopes in the same sense that only a portion ot the paper E should be ornamented, and not the whole of it, leaving that portion which is not so ornamented, and part ot' which is held on the carrier C d uring the process of embossing, either to be used as writing-paper or as part ,of an envelope, or in analogous manner.

We do not claim embossing paper or other fabrics, as we know that it is very common to do that.v

We claim- 1. The combined embossed paper and ornament E D, the ornament D being of silk or other textile fabric and attached to a portion only of the paper E, the edge of the ornament D being in contact with and surrounded by a projection on the paper to protect the raw for operation in connecting and embossing edge ot' the fabric and prevent fraying, the the fabric Dund paper E, substantially as dero paper having embossing around the ornn.- scribed.
